With the hullabaloo in Plateau state with regards succession, the Chairman of Mikang LGA, Mr. Daniel Kungmi has come out to deny any plans to succeed Jonah Jang in the 2015 gen­eral elections.

Kungmi averred that since he was elected into office last February, there has been rife specu­lations that he (who is considered a close ally of the Gover­nor) was nursing the am­bition to contest the 2015 election and take over from him.

Only last week, his posters for the Governor­ship race flooded every part of the state includ­ing Jos, the state capital.
But in a statement which he personally signed and made avail­able to journalist in Jos yesterday, the council Chairman said at no point did he express to anyone or group any intention to run for the Governorship of the state.

The chairman, who described the activities linking him to the Gover­norship race as the handi­work of mischief makers, maintained that he will continue to remain fo­cused in the discharge of his constitutional duties as chairman of the coun­cil area.

While calling on the people to remain vigilant ahead of the 2015 elec­tions, the Council boss also urged them to contin­ue to support the redemp­tion administration of Governor Jang in its ef­forts to impact positively on the lives of the people.
